Un-Finished Business
Vote on the bylaw changes was to be held. After a count of the signed in members it was determined that there was a quorum present. Irv Deines presented the first bylaw change (that of the types of memberships). Some questions were asked and answered. Irv asked for a vote by show of hands and it was observed that there were none opposed. The next bylaw change was the addition of article 12 Liability. No questions were asked but a typographical error was noted. This err will be corrected. Irv called for a vote by show of hands and there were none opposed. All of the proposed changes to the bylaws were accepted and adopted.
Crime Stoppers question is as elusive as ever. Tom Matthews will deal with this when he has the time.
Russ Weber noted that the workday had been canceled. He asked for volunteers to help with a rescheduled workday if he can get a front-end loader to move the steel off of the 18-acre parcel. He has made arrangements for this equipment but asked for a motion to allow him to spend the $90.00 per hour for its work. Lee Boren made such a motion:
That the OMGC allow Russ Weber to hire a front-end loader at the rate of $90.00 per hour for up to three hours of work.
Chuck Lopas seconded that motion.
The motion passed.
Lee Boren announced that both the Mesa County Planning Commission and the Mesa County Board of Commissioners have turned down the “Springfield Estates” subdivision, which was proposed by the Rinderlie Consortium. If there is to be any subdividing of the acreage to the North and east of OMGC property the developers will have to start at square one.
New Business
Pat Weber noted that the published shoot calendar has a mistake. That mistake is the dates of the schuetzen match scheduled for April 6,7 & 8. It should have been April 7, 8 & 9. Dean will try to get the calendar on the Internet corrected.
The bylaws expressly forbid the use of Alcoholic Beverages on OMGC property except under certain circumstances. Only after permission is granted by a vote of the membership present at a regularly scheduled membership meeting.
Pat Weber made a motion to allow the Schuetzen match to be concluded each night with a round or two of fine wine beer and other sprits.
Motion seconded by Chuck Lopas
Motion passed.
